Unsettled Christianity

Okay, maybe not the antichrist since she believes that Christ came in the flesh, but the title is catchy. What worries me about his new PAC is that it allows someone with dubious connections to Christian Terrorists the ability to raise money, to remain in the national spotlight and to run again, albeit in a much strong position, in 2012. Do you really think that Wagner, Joyner or Grady would ever make a run for public office? What a better person to carry the New Apostolic Reformation to the White House than a run of the mill hockey mom?

If you thought Sarah Palin was going to just fade away, you clearly weren’t listening when she said the only difference between a soccer mom and a pit bull was lipstick.

The Alaska governor, who was the Republican nominee for vice president in the race that John McCain lost to Democrat Barack Obama last year, is already laying the groundwork for another run at something.

She has started her own political action committee, SarahPAC, complete with a website. And she’s learned a trick from Obama — the site’s main feature is a page where you can put down your name and donate $25 or $5,000 or more.

“Welcome to SarahPAC, Sarah Palin’s official PAC,” the site says. “Dedicated to building America’s future, supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation.”

“SarahPAC believes the Republican Party is at the threshold of an historic renaissance that will build a better future for all,” the site says. “Health care, education and reform of government are among our key goals.”

The site’s home page shows Palin against a backdrop of Alaska’s sweeping mountain vistas.

While declaring it is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee, SarahPAC has a full biography of the former vice presidential candidate.

It notes she made history by becoming the first woman governor of Alaska and the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket.

“Gov. Palin has a long record of achievement and experience in public office,” it says, including her service as governor, her time as mayor of the town of Wasilla and her stint on the Wasilla City Council.
